IS too true, that the generality (we 'Twon't confine ourselves to England and Ireland alone) of the whole world are flaves to their own whims, paffions, and idle purfuits; by the annexed whimsical and humorous print, we will find that the very greatest and most powerful are not divefted of fome Caprice or other, and that every creature from the King to the Beggar has a favourite Hobby, which he's inclined , to canter about more or less: "All human-kind to fome lov'd ills incline." We see the Greatest Man in the nation, (and really a very honeft man too) in clofe confultation with his firft La Lord, whether or not, he shall have any thing to do with the diftribution of certain Eastern treafures, gold, jewels, &c. His lordship folemnly fwears" not I by G-d;" and the niafter declares," that he would not for the world touch either," whilft his Royal Confort plays to fome tune, finging merrily, "Pounds, fhillings, pence and farthings, (goody Swilly) I have at my fin ger ends," and fo her Majefty has-and diamonds too, and why not?-Who's afraid? Next we behold, the Heir Apparent led about like a great Dancing Bear in the chains of fweet Fair, Fat, and Forty, a woman," who might be the boy's mother, a widow too! a buxom fat widow and a lady poffeffing publicly a contrary religion from that established in his cautious father's dominions; "O Tempora! O Mores!" We afterwards fee the Puerile Premier. bleeding the Eaftern Nabob, and purging him of fome of his ill-gotten treasures; wealth Gent. Mag. Nov. 1788. obtained by rapine, and by murder! Whilft the fon of a mighty King (who is himself too a Bishop, a General, and a Prince,) fuffers hinfelf to be bafely pigeoned by a Carpenter-and a Fox, -ay, and a cunning Fox; ftrange propenfities! Only look at that Arch Lady there; archer none can be more. See how bufily employed she is at her toylet, thickly plaiftering on the rouge, whilft one of her fair daughters (fweet little innocent!) is chained to the back of her ladyship's chair, merely to prevent the pretty little Mifs from eloping from her good Mamma, like her too-too forward naughty fifters; Oh! what a world we live in! You fee how Mifs Frances, with the turn of her finger, can make that great fat lord, with the unmeaning face,-in fact, he has no face at all, (I mean that lord who once in an ill-fated hour, guided the helm of ftate;) ftart up and fpout, and play the Antic Mummer like any Barber's Boy, whilft fhe, droll girl, enjoys the comic fcene before her, in its fullest extent. The Italian nobleman too, can contemplate his own fweet vifage in the mirror, and confole himself with the infidelity of his lady by the thoughts of Doctor's Commons, a divorce, and damages; whilft the Hibernian Orator, all fpectacled, and quite the ton, is preaching on the Sublime to the enemies of peculation and barbarity. Turn again, and behold that brute! that great fwollen, infatiable glutton, devouring his well-bafted Pig, whilft the devil, in the fhape of his cook, is preparing his next meal; fee how the Fiend lathes the Squeaking Brute:-Oh!-gutton-glutton-how doft thou know, but the next mouthful may be thy laft! The fweet fyren Bellington too, who has all hearts fubdued, is melodiously warbling that, "Her heart, her foud heart, fays her Henry is true;" whilft the Royal Sailor, in raptures moft extatic, roars out from the ftage-box, Encore, Encore !-Bravo!-Braviflimo!--Encore, encore !- Mon Ange! charming, charming woman! How ridiculous the whole Picture; how humiliating to think, that among so many characters, nay, among fo many groups of the very firft confequence, we can't find a fingle individual employed rationally, and yet, 'tis a juft drawing;-a true delineation of the depravity of human nature. Let us alfo look into the lower orders of life, and we'll ftill fee fcenes acted altogether as ridiculously; people of all defcripti ons fpending their entire fives without reaping either profit, honour, or fame, or being of the fmallest fervice to any of their fellowcreatures; animals at beft, but poffeffing negative Virtues, a class of creatures of fo infignificant a nature, that they might as well have never been created: "Ill punched lanthorns, and dimly illumined with electric fire!" Life of Francis Xavier. RANCIS XAVIER, commonly called the apofile of India, and one of the firft difciples of Ignatius Loyola, was born in the caftle of Xavier, in Navarre, on the 7th of April, 1506. His father, Don Juan de Jaffo, held one of the firft offices in the council of ftate, under the reign of John III. and his mother, Mary Azpilcueta Xavier, was heiress to two of the most illuftrious families in that kingdom. The caftle of Xavier, fituated at the bottom of the Pyrenean mountains, seven or eight leagues diftant from Pampeluna, had appertained to her anvestors for about two hundred and fifty years; it was given them by King Theobald, the first of that name, as a recompence for fome fignal fervices which they had rendered to the crown, and on this account they affumed the name of Xavier, inftead of Afnarez, which was the former name of the family. Xavier's parents being people of an exemplary life and conduct, bestowed great care on his education, and as he had an acute judgment, a quick conception, and a retentive memory, he made great proficiency in the course of a few years. Having acquired a fufficient knowledge of the Latin language, he was fent, when about the age of eighteen, to the univerfity of Paris, where he immediately entered upon a courfe of philofophy In this branch of ftudy he fucceeded fo well, that after having taken his degree as mafter of arts, he was judged capable of teaching it himself, and his public lectures upon Ariftotle were received with the higheft approbation. About the time that Xavier began his courfe of philofophy, Ignatius Loyola came into France to purfue his ftudies, which he had been obliged to abandon in Spain. He had not long refided in Paris before he heard of this young mafter in philosophy, and judging that he would be a very proper perfon to affift him in executing the plan which he had formed of establishing a new fociety, he introduced him!elf to his acquaintance, and took every opportunity of gaining him over to his purpose, together with his companion, Peter le Favre, a Savoyard, who lodged along with him in the college of St. Barbe. The latter, who was of a mild and pliable difpofition, was eafily prevailed on to refign himself to the direction of Loyola; but Xavier, who poffeffed a proud and haughty fpirit, and whofe head was filled with ambitious thoughts, made at firft an obftinate refiftance. Of all the foibles which attend human nature, none feems to be more universal than vanity. This the penetrating genius of Loyola well knew; he therefore thought that the only way to infure fuccefs, was to attack Xavier on the weaker fide. When he had often congratu lated him on account of those rich talents of nature with which he was endowed, and particularly applauded his great wit, he made it his business to procure him fcholars, and to augment his reputation by the crowd of his hearers. He conducted them even to his chair, and when he prefented them to their mafter, he never failed to extol his learning and abilities in the higheft ftrains of pagyrick. Xavier had too much vanity not to receive with eager fatisfaction whatever incense of this kind was given him. Praife was always welcome, from whatever quarter it proceeded; and he was too grateful not to acknowledge thofe good offices which were done him by a perfon from whom he had no title to expect them. He began now to look upon Loyola with other eyes, and he was informed at the fame time, that this man of fo despicable and forbidding an appearance, was born of one of the nobleft families in Guipufcoa; that his courage was correfpondent to his birth, and that a zeal for religion only, had infpired him with a defire for embracing a way of life at once fo extraordinary and unbecoming his quality. Thefe confiderations in favour of Loyola, induced him to hearken without repugnance to difcourfes which were ill adapted to the natural bent of his temper. Xavier's money, as often happens to those who are at a diftance from their own country, began to fail him, and Loyola, who had |
